    yep, i think phones4u is the cheapest at the moment..

    They also have the HTC wildfire at a good price.. worth looking at that too!

    There Are Better Ones For Like £15 & £20 A Month Though...

    I'm Not Sure What The Best Prices Are For Blackberry Curves.
    I'm Selling A Purple One For £80.
    But If It's For Christmas You Will Want A New One.

    great first post, welcome to MSE

    however not really keen on "3"

    would be looking to pay no more than £15, would prefer a deal around £10-£12

    thanks again

    Could I ask a question to anyone who already has this Blackberry Curve on Pay As You Go (any network).

    My cousin wants one of these, & I'm trying to ascertain what the usage costs will be.

    I see that Vodafone & Orange refer to a £5 monthly charge (taken out your credit) for the Blackberry Internet Service, and all the networks have some kind of 'top up £10 a month and get X texts and X MB Data'.

    Can anyone tell me what this £5 Blackberry Service charge covers, & if you need a data allowance in addition?

    Thanks :)

    bbm useage. some networks try to separate them to make u pay more making people think this BBM is a totally different world. bbm uses 'data' so a general data plan will cover bbm. most networks charge around £5 extra a month for 200-500mb or 1-3GB of data.

    with the voda one its opt in only not automatic, so as long as u keep topping up whatever u get x amount 'free'.
